Radegast is Ban?k’s new sponsor (Translation)

Radegast has become a new partner of the soccer club Ban?k Ostrava. They would like to support the club?s ambition to return to the company of successful Czech and European soccer teams. The contract between the club and Radegast is a two-year contract. The collaboration will bring not only important financial support to this well-established club, but also interesting long-term projects for the club fans. The first concrete project is the establishment of the partnership between Radegast and the club as part of the celebration of the 90th anniversary of Ban?k Soccer Club. The event is one of the region?s major events.

Radegast Manager Karel Kraus talks about the main reasons behind the partnership: ?Ban?k is the symbol of Northern Moravia. It has fans across the entire region and it represents it beyond its borders. The same goes for Radegast. The partnering of the two well-established Moravian entities is logical, and I am very pleased that we were able to reach a mutually agreeable agreement. We have a lot of faith in the club and that is why we have decided to sign a two-year contract.?

FC Ban?k Ostrava Chairman of the Board Petr ?afar??k is pleased with the new partner: ?Radegast is an important regional brand and its support and trust is very important to Ban?k. I especially look forward to our combined projects and events for our fans.?

The first concrete result of the mentioned partnership is the Radegast?s participation in the celebration of 90 years of Ban?k that will take place this Saturday at Bazaly Stadium.
